Here’s a quick rundown of what we can do for you in and around Daventry

Scrap your car

Get a quick and easy sale when scrapping your car. Just use our online quote generator to find your prices and we'll do the rest. Literally all you have to do is tell us which offer you want to accept and arrange a date - before you know it your car will be replaced by a nice chunk of money in your bank account.

Sell your car for salvage

If your car is too good to be dragged straight to a scrapyard, you might be interested to know that you can still use our service and make some good money, too. Salvage vehicles are broken down for their reusable parts first, meaning you have an additional opportunity to get some extra cash.

Sell a damaged car

A damaged car sitting on your driveway is never an easy thing to sell, unless you use our service that is! Don't waste time with a private sale, and the risk of literal time wasters. One call to us is all it takes and we'll have your car on the back of a truck and money in your account before you know it.

Sell a van or commercial vehicle

Commercial vehicles aren't immune from breakdown and mechanical hiccups, but luckily for you our service is just as quick and easy for them as it is for cars. Just get in touch and we'll help scrap a van, truck, bus or whatever you've got. We can even help dispose of an entire fleet of vehicles - our specialist team would love to help you out so call today.

Scrap Car Comparison Mascot How to scrap a car in Daventry

1. Get a price

Unlock your initial offers by providing us with your postcode and vehicle registration. Our generator will find your scrap prices in an instant, and you will be presented with your best offers. Our team will call you to discuss your car in more detail and see if we can possibly improve your offer or even change to a salvage sale.

2. Provide more details

We will only be able to tell if your car can be sold as salvage by speaking to you on the phone and getting a detailed idea of its condition. If you have a car that still has some reusable parts, we may find better offers by selling it to be used as spares and repairs. Your description must be accurate, as while your offer is guaranteed, it will be subject to inspection upon collection.

3. Collection and payment

All you need to do now is sit back and wait as one of our trusted collection specialists comes out direct to you to remove your car. Once it's on the back of their truck and being taken away the money will be transferred into your account. Providing your description was accurate, you'll be paid every single penny you were quoted and nothing less.

What are the scrap car prices in Daventry?

Every quote we generate is calculated based on the current rate for scrap metal in the UK and the weight of your car. We also take into account any local trends and will always check to see if you could make more money by selling as salvage, depending on your car’s condition.

What happens to scrap cars?

All scrap cars are recycled in line with environmental regulations laid out by the government. Almost all of your car will eventually be returned back to its original materials. These materials will then be used once again in the manufacturing process, often for new cars. In effect, by scrapping an old car you’re helping breathe life into a brand new one.

How is salvaging different to scrapping?

While scrap cars are sent straight to the Authorised Treatment Facility and priced based on weight, a salvage car will be treated differently depending on what’s wrong with it. Any working parts will be removed and used as spares and repairs – or in some cases the car itself will be repaired and returned to the road. Due to these additional steps creating potential revenue streams for spare parts or even a repaired car, salvage offers often outweight their scrap counterparts.

How do I get the best price for my car?

Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.

But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.

Are you prices really guaranteed?

Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
